At Porto Gaming Guide, we promote safe and responsible gaming. Playing should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
If you notice that gaming is affecting your life, it is important to take appropriate steps. We provide information on how to maintain control and where to seek help if needed.
β Only play with money you can afford to lose without affecting your financial situation.
β Set a budget before playing and never exceed it.
β Do not treat gaming as a source of income or a solution to financial problems.
β Avoid playing when you are sad, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
β Take regular breaks and avoid playing for extended periods.
If you or someone close to you shows the following symptoms, it could be a sign of gambling addiction:
β Difficulty stopping play even after losses.
β Neglecting family or work responsibilities due to gaming.
β Borrowing money or selling assets to continue playing.
β Lying about the time and money spent on gambling.
β Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not playing.
